Thomas. The docket does say this is subject to change.According to the docket and paperwork submitted to the courts, Michael Robert Ufferman and Laurel Cornell Niles', Adelson's attorneys, arguments say they are appealing based on the trial court "erring" when: They denied a change of venue for the trial "Excluding defense-proffered text messages that would have shown Appellant Adelson and other alleged co-conspirators communicating normally during the time leading up to Dan Markels murder "It excluded evidence that was highly probative to the theory of defense" - this was related to the defense's theory that Adelson was being extorted.Their arguments conclude with: "the errors, cumulatively, in this case denied Appellant Adelson his constitutional right to a fair trial."The State and the Defense will be allotted 20 minutes each to make their case.Oral arguments are set to begin at 10:00 a.m. at the First DCA on Drayton Drive.Want to see more local news?
